My mum did once. I think i was about six and had called a neighbour something 'orrid. She physically tried washing my grubby gob with it but wasn't getting far, so she tried to make me eat it. I had a bite and was sick. Anyone else or was this just something old folks threatened their kids with? If not, what were punishments your parents handed out when you weren't behaving? My mum used to ground us a lot, but we lived on the bottom floor, so we'd just put something behind the bedroom door, turn the sound up on the NES and go out. The only other one was slaps to the hand, dished out by my then step-dad. Bastard. In hindsight it wasn't that painful.
Yeah, regularly
Cool.
are you david peltzer?
i have a vague memory of my mum doing it once
she probably couldn't properly go through with it though.
She used that along with loads of old glaswegian colloquial insults like "I'll take ma palm aff yer face". In which case i'd just stick my tongue out at her then do a sort of reverse slapping motion, removing my hand from my face at speed. Good times.
I don't think so.
But as a child I did read a Paddington book where he ate a cake of soap and started foaming at the mouth ad got all upset. I took it as a warning.
No...but
in primary school, in order to try and get out of playing in goals i went to the toilet and tried to swallow soap in order to make myself so sick i couldnt play....god i was fucked up even when i was 12....true story, i ended up having to play, i made some good saves.
My mum never really punished me that way.
She grounded me ALL THE TIME, but I still went out, so it had no effect whatsoever. She just used to shout and nag at me. To be honest when I was younger, I'd have much prefered a quick slap or two to an evening of being whinged at over something petty.
I remember being there when my great aunt washed out my cousin's mouth with washing up liquid for saying 'fuck'. She basically made her gargle some about her mouth. She didn't seem to care much, but I remember thinking it was a really ridiculous thing to do to someone.
never
i used to get smacked with a wooden spoon if I ever crossed the line.
I do remember taking a bite of soap but my body rejected it and bubbles came out of my mouth.
.
it was imperial leather if anyone's interested. That soap is so shit...
hi five for the wooden spoon massive
worst one was
a crack to the head with a monkey wrench, my stupid imbecile of a freind flooded my garage and who got the blame...ol' bugger lugs here. Worts thing was at least 3-4 people witnessed it and I got called Monkey Wrench Boy for a few months
"ol' bugger lugs here"
<3
Where're you from?
fuckin ULL Mayte
well a place called Hornsea. But close enough
holy shit!

used to get the spoon to the back of my legs... The bitch! (my mummy)
My friend's brother bit a chunck out of a bar of soap
and apparently the doctor said to drink only milk as water will literally make the soap froth up and bubble in his stomach.
No, but
my mum's bastard of a friend did, when I was nine. I stuck my head out of the window to greet him and he thought that I spat on him... God I hated my childhood.
No
My parents never seemed that bothered about me swearing. My mum claims that my first word was "fuck" in Greek, so I got off to a good start.
Sometimes my mum would lock me out of the house or in the garage for a bit if I had a fight with my brother... It was always me, never my brother, who got locked in the garage :-/
that would be phenomenal if neither of your parents were actually greek.
It would be quite impressive,
but if it were the case my mum probably wouldn't have known that it meant anything.
No.
no. cos its a saying, not a real thing, right?
to actually do it literally suggests that insulting people is ok, cos you can undo it with soap.
i just got hit with a wooden spoon
yeah same
and slippers
it's really funny telling my dad he's turning into his dad. He hates it. I'll never do that...
Remember that as you raise a slipper to one of yr future offspring
I witnessed it once
my friend got Kula Shaker's K album for his birthday, and said it was shit. His mum went mad :D
